Background |
|
Organisational Background: UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) was formed in July 2010 as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates of parts of the UN system working on all aspects of gender equality and empowerment of women. UN Women’s vision is a world where societies are free of gender-based discrimination, where women and men have equal opportunities, where the comprehensive development of women and girls is ensured so that they can continue to be active agents of change, where gender equality and women’s empowerment are achieved and where women’s rights are upheld in all efforts to further development, human rights, peace and security. UN Women’s mandate builds on inter-governmental agreements articulated in the Beijing Platform for Action (PFA), the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Millennium Declaration, and relevant Security Council resolutions. Central to UN Women leads coordination of the UN system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into concrete action at the country level. Unit / Project Background: UN Women’s Multi-Country Office (MCO) in Fiji, covers 14 Pacific Island countries and territories, with field presences in Kiribati, Nauru, Samoa (covering Cook Islands, Niue and Tokelau), Solomon Islands and Vanuatu and a programme presence in Tonga. UN Women is also represented through the United Nations Joint Presence Offices in Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, Republic of Marshall Islands, Tonga and Tuvalu. Outside of the Fiji MCO, UN Women also has a separate, fully fledged office in Papua New Guinea, with country-specific programming. The UN Women Fiji MCO works with governments and civil society organisations with a focus on four programmatic areas: ending violence against women and girls; gender and protection in humanitarian action; women’s economic empowerment (including Markets for Change); and political participation, leadership and human rights. Its Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (EVAWG) programme has begun work with the new Pacific Partnership to End Violence Against Women and Girls (Pacific Partnership). The Pacific Partnership brings together governments, civil society organisations, communities and other partners to promote gender equality, prevent violence against women and girls (VAWG), and increase access to quality response services for survivors. To achieve this, the Pacific Partnership aims to transform the social norms that allow violence against women and girls to continue; to ensure survivors have access to quality response services; and to support national and regional institutions to meet their commitments to gender equality and prevention of violence against women and girls. Working through partners, it will promote equal rights and opportunities for all Pacific people, through innovative approaches to education, access to essential services, and policy development. The programme’s outcome areas are jointly coordinated through a partnership between the Pacific Community (SPC) Regional Rights Resource Team (RRRT), the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS), and UN Women Fiji Multi-Country Office (MCO). The EUR18.2 million partnership is primarily funded by the European Union (12.7m) that supports all outcome areas of the programme, with the Australian Government providing targeted funding to the second outcome (EUR4.9m or AUD$7.6m) together with UN Women (EUR0.6m or USD$0.75m). The work of the Intern will be based at the UN Women MCO in Fiji, undertaking communications work primarily for the Pacific Partnership, along with global initiatives and knowledge products that UN Women may support.
